Scorchin' Summer Streamin' 26 - Dear Life - Miniseries

I tried, oh I tried with Stan's Sunny Nights just after Christmas. It was released Boxing Day, but could not get into it. This however, Dear Life, was gripping. One of the best Aussie TV shows on Stan in a long time.

Whilst He Had it Coming was fun, this was raw, emotional and beautiful. Brooke Satchwell was terrific.

I sadly missed Brooke in Kangaroo. I really wanted to see that late last year, however they only played it at family times whilst I was working. BOO!

That said, I never was a Satchwell fan whilst she was in Neighbours (RIP) or Wonderland. However she did pop up on the hugely underrated Mr Inbetween.

So what's the deal with Dear Life you ask? A woman (Satchwell), struggling to get over the death of her fiancé, finds comfort in seeking out the recipients of his organs, triggering a tangled chain of connection.

Alongside Satchwell its a solid Aussie cast including, Eleanor Matsuura, Ryan Johnson, Ben Lawson, Annie Maynard, Daniel Henshall, Kerry Armstrong, Megan Smart, & Khisraw Jones-Shukoor.

The series is written and directed by Robyn Butler and Wayne Hope. Filming took place across Victoria with locations including Ballarat, Melbourne and Yarra Valley.

With a far amount of Aussie content out right, it will be hard to top Dear Life. Sadly we will need to wait to the Logies in winter to see how this will fair at Aussie awards season.

This was top notch TV. Honestly Satchwell was incredible.

So whilst it's holiday season, if you are looking for a new drama to dive head foot into, then look no further than Dear Life. Just beautiful.
